Hudson Cherry

What are the best pollinators for the Hudson cherry? And how many other trees varieties for one Hudson ?

Any sweet cherry will pollinate Hudson well, just make sure it is a sweet cherry and not a pie cherry.

What type and how many pollinoses trees are needed when planting 6-10 Hudson trees?

Most any other sweet cherry will do. For 10 trees you should plant 1-2 trees of another variety to ensure sufficent pollen. 1:10 is the minimum ratio for sweet cherries.

Based on the Cherry Growing Guide, Hudson ripens late. But, what is the Blooming time? We get late frost (late March- early April) and no matter how good the tree is we never get any fruit (some years we get some). Could you please also add a Blooming Chart as you do for Apples and Pears? All PNW nurseries put Stella (early) and Hudson (or Sweetheart ) on the same blooming season and we (backyard growers) always get confused.

Typically sweet cherries (Prunus avium) all bloom within the same time period and without concerns like late frosts and unseasonable rain there is rarely a problem with cross pollination.
